The truth about US' 'unmitigated failure' in Afghanistan

As the US begins its withdrawal from Afghanistan after twenty years of conflict, Rick Sanchez looks at the reasons the US invaded in the first place, as well as how the Bush administration wantonly prolonged the war and expanded it with the invasion of Iraq. China has plans to transform Afghanistan and bring it into Beijing’s orbit by means of the China-Pakistan economic corridor and its geopolitical grand plan, the One Belt One Road Initiative.
